how to start healing

1. Generally, the physician currently treating you will refer you to our Center for specialized care. You can also make an appointment directly.
2. When you call for your first appointment, we will ask you a few questions about your wound and your health in general.
3. Before treatment, our team of doctors and nurses will thoroughly evaluate your wound and review your health and medical history.
4. Tests may be conducted to tell us more about your blood flow and tissue oxygenation as well as to determine if there’s any infection present.
5. Together with your physician, we’ll develop a treatment program based on your special needs.
6. We are in constant communication with your doctor throughout your care. Once your wound is healed, you’ll return to your doctor for follow-up care.

Much of the success of your treatment depends on you. At the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center at DePaul, our wound care specialists depend on our patients to follow directions carefully. You'll learn to care for your wound at home and how to protect yourself from further injuries. Our wound care experts at the center will be available to answer all your questions and give you the support you need.
